Default Eurostars in West London

I often use the FGW service out of Paddington and notice Eurostar trains
in a shed south of the line somewhere near Acton. Simple question - how do
they get there? Seems a long way from either Waterloo or PGduN.


They have a link on to the West London line and run down through
Kensington Olympia, over the Thames and then just before Clapham
Junction there is a line that links round onto the Windsor lines into
Waterloo. Not very far really.

The depot at North Pole will soon become redundant and a new depot is
being built at Temple Mills north of Stratford. There is a link tunnel
from the central part of Stratford International Station that runs round
to where the new depot will be.
